The Problem with Seminaries
Written by Gary North
So, you want to become a minister. First, however, you need training. You think you should go to seminary. A word of warning: seminaries are staffed by people who learned to write term papers in their teens or early twenties, and who then decided to parlay that peculiar skill into lifetime employment. Seminaries are not staffed by successful ex-pastors; successful pastors remain in the ministry. Seminaries are staffed by baptized college professors who chose to specialize in a field so obscure that no college has a sufficient number of students to make hiring them come close to paying off.

Universal Suffrage: A History and Analysis of Voting in the Church and Society
Written by Dr. Phillip Kayser
Universal suffrage (the belief that every member can vote) in a congregation or in a state is a fairly recent phenomenon. It was not until the 1900s that there was any significant movement in this direction. Is this an improvement? Is it Biblical? Scripture definitely shines light on one of the most significant developments of the 20th century.

Individual Economics In The Black Community
Individual Economics In The Black Community

A follow up to the podcast on Is Group Economics the Answer to the Black Community. Trying to find answers to the financial crisis in black communities in the inner city, I address the solutions that have been presented by some. I attempt to give a biblical solution to what can be of help not only for the sake of people’s financial well-being but for the sake of the advancement of the Kingdom. Planting churches in the inner city is no easy task, and it is even harder with all of the financial barriers that come along with it.
Out of respect for Trevaris Tutt, we add this notice that he no longer holds to these views.
